I share your suspicion about a misset altimeter but it appears that the QNH was 1019 hPa according to a weather sequence attached to one of the YouTube videos.
That would put the aircraft 180ft lower than the 500ft MDH so 320ft. Is that enough error to show in that picture?

Note: The number of altimeter setting errors reported to ASRS is extremely high.
